This module contains several :mod:`ctypes` objects to extract common data
types.

.. data:: int8

	:mod:`ctypes` object to extract a signed 8-bit integer.

.. data:: uint8

	:mod:`ctypes` object to extract an unsigned 8-bit integer.

.. data:: int16_le

	:mod:`ctypes` object to extract a signed 16-bit integer (little endian).

.. data:: uint16_le

	:mod:`ctypes` object to extract an unsigned 16-bit integer (little endian).

.. data:: int16_be

	:mod:`ctypes` object to extract a signed 16-bit integer (big endian).

.. data:: uint16_be

	:mod:`ctypes` object to extract an unsigned 16-bit integer (big endian).

.. data:: int32_le

	:mod:`ctypes` object to extract a signed 32-bit integer (little endian).
